Nielson Fire n Ice came and did an inspection and said I needed a new thermostat. The tech said and i quote, "Everything else looks fine, system is running normal". I replaced the thermostat - $150 Two weeks later, guests complain the AC won't cool down. Had to give them a refund. Fire n Ice recommended to install a hard kit - $450 2 days later, new guests complain. Same issue. More guest refunds. Fire in Ice recommends basically a full A/C replace (Condenser, Piston, pressurize and evacuate lines, etc) - $5,225 (reduced by $300 after I requested a discount - this was the best they'd offer).  3 days laters - same issue. Fire n Ice came back.. not sure what they did but managed to get it to temporarily work? Had to refund guest that were there.  Next 5 days did testing and seemed to work.  Cleaners check day of guests arriving and SAME ISSUE! WILL NOT COOL! Fire n Ice can't make it to my house in time. Had to cancel guests entire stay. Fire in Ice installed a new board - $550.  My thought is they still don't know what the issue was and just tried something new every time to see what would stick... costing me loads of money.   So after all that, I'm out approximately $7,500 from Fire n Ice and guest refunds.  And now, fast forward THREE months later, I get ANOTHER invoice for $100.   Avoid at all costs.

Hi-Desert Air handles all of our seasonal tune-ups, including both our HVAC system and our swamp…read morecooler (evaporative cooler). They replace our pads and calibrate the swamp cooler every year and are clean, efficient, easy to work with. Brandy always does a great job setting us up at a time that is convenient and solves any minor problem immediately. They even winterize the swamp system and reboot it come spring with fresh filters--no fuss, no mess. Three trucks showed up one afternoon, got everything done before lunch, and left with no traces behind . If only every contractor could be that efficient! A few years back they replaced our entire HVAC system and our electric bills dropped by almost 40%, and the system has never given us a moment of trouble. They didn't stop at the unit--they replaced our old ductwork with a high-efficiency ducting system. The airflow is reprioritized (they explained that's why some rooms were always hot and some were always cold), and the temperature throughout the house is noticeably more even. Great design, skilled installation. There prices are always competitive and they were will to work with us to get the most out of the limited budget that we had.

They were able to get to the house on Monday morning right on time and ready to go. The repair was done quickly and correctly.

I'm happy to recommend this business.

I contacted this company for a second opinion on an issue with my HVAC unit. When I called to…read moreschedule, I was told it would be a $75 diagnostic fee and $70 per hour for labor, which was cheaper than another company I had already spoken with. That is the only reason I chose to have them come out. The technician arrived, diagnosed a completely different issue than what the first company had told me, and then quoted me $450 + diagnostic cost + coolant cost for the repair--even though he had already found the leak. When I asked how it could possibly cost that much if their labor rate was $70 per hour, he said the office would call me to explain. When the office called, I was told that the $70 per hour was a "warranty price" and that for this issue it was a different price per hr. At no point during the initial call was this distinction made. I was understandably concerned about the lack of transparency, and when I repeatedly reminded them that I chose their company because of the hourly rate they gave me, the person on the phone became rude and defensive. I then asked to speak with the owner. When he called, I explained the situation from the beginning. Instead of listening and trying to resolve the issue, he became rude as well and said to me, "Under any circumstances here are you wrong?" I was shocked. I told him that his company had quoted me one price and then changed it after I'd already scheduled and had the technician come out, wasting everyone's time. He insisted that their labor price had "never" been what I was quoted, yet he had no explanation for why two different people from his own company had told me that number. When I asked directly what their actual fee was, he still would not give me a straight answer. The lack of transparency about pricing and the dismissive, disrespectful attitude from both the office and the owner were absolutely unacceptable. I was treated as if I was the problem simply for questioning a bait-and-switch type situation. I would not recommend this company to anyone who values honesty, clear communication, and basic respect.

I was very impressed with my initial contact (a personal phone call) and he was able to come the next day for which I received automated scheduling texts and arrival alerts.

A couple of hours later my Nest Thermostat stopped cooling so I called John and he returned to take a look and had that fixed in a few minutes. That was above and beyond and I appreciated him returning a second time. John is very knowledgeable, competent and respectful and I highly recommend him and Freedom Mechanical Solutions.
